Caran D'ache is like Raymond Weil
Montegrapa is like Panerai: big and Italian
Omas is like JLC
Cross is like Tag Heuer
Waterman is like ???

I don't think you can match pen brands to watch brands all that well

No, you did a great job.

But to finish it out I would thing the Waterman is like IWC.

How would you rate Pelikan? It seems to be a favorite in TRF.

Don't think Tudor = Pelikan.
Tudor is more like Montegrappa. Montblanc sold Montegrappa back to its original owners 2-3 years ago so at one stage Montegrappa was a sub-brand of Montblanc.
Pelikan is more like TAG, imho - uninspiring, dependable and fairly priced.
